14 Ke kaloku uAbhigali, umkaNabhali, waxelelwa yindodana ethile kumadodana akhe, isithi, Yabona, uDavide ususe abathunywa entlango, ukuba beze kusikelela inkosi yethu; yesuka yabadlakavula.
15 Kanti amadoda lawo ebelungile kunene kuthi; akasonanga, asilahlekelwanga nto ngemihla yonke esibe sihamba nawo, oko besisezindle;
16 aba ludonga kuthi nasebusuku nasemini, yonke imihla ebe sinawo, sisalusa impahla emfutshane.
17 Yazi ngoko, uyibone into oyenzayo; ngokuba kugqitywe kwelobubi ngakwinkosi yethu, nangakwindlu yayo yonke; ilitshijolo, akusenakuthethwa nayo.
18 Wakhawuleza ke uAbhigali, wathabatha amakhulu amabini ezonka, neentsuba zambini zewayini, neegusha zantlanu sezihlinziwe, neeseha* zantlanu zamakhweba, zalikhulu izicumba zeerasintyisi, zamakhulu mabini izicumba zamakhiwane, wazibeka emaesileni.
19 Wathi kumadodana akwakhe, Gqithelani phambi kwam; niyabona, ndiyanilandela. Akayixelela indoda yakhe uNabhali.
20 Kwathi, ekhwele eesileni, esihla esitheni lentaba, nabo ooDavide namadoda akhe besihla, bemkhawulela, waqubisana nabo.
